Developing on the windows API is an unproductive way of creating apps, especially for the beginner developer.

I highly disagree, especially since things like the very useful http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ exist.

It's much better to invest their time on learning programming rather how to possition a button and where to listen for click messages.

Ironically, MS's own "get started with UWP" tutorial involves nearly no code, but lots of messing around with a GUI (without really understanding what's happening and why):
